Ruling on a non-mahram man teaching children in their home while the father is absent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener (M. F. 'A.) residing in Riyadh sent a message containing two questions. The summary of his first question is: He asked about the ruling on allowing a man into his home to teach his children while he is absent, but the children and their mother are in the house. Is that permissible or not?
Answer:
If the children are older, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if they are young, under seven years of age, then no; it is necessary that someone be present to prevent seclusion. Therefore, no one should be allowed into his home to teach his children while they are young and there is no one of the older children present with his wife, because this constitutes seclusion. But if they are older, seven years of age or more, then there is no harm, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
